For all the gamers out there who spent massive amounts of time huddled around their Super Nintendo in the 90’s playing Super Tecmo Bowl with friends, rejoice: a new Tecmo Bowl experience is coming.

{ad}This September will see the release of Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff for the Nintendo DS, and the screenshots and video of the game that were released this week showcase graphics and gameplay that look exactly like the classic football game.

The game will see a home release on the Wii sometime in 2009, but Tecmo isn’t quite ready to reveal any details on that version yet.

Kenneth’s Opinion:

With the exception of the brilliant Mutant League Football way back on the Genesis, this is the one classic remake I was really hoping to see make a comeback. It’s great to see that the gameplay, aesthetic and playbooks are reproduced exactly as they were on the SNES. Hopefully the Wii version next year follows the same tact.
